Garden Happenings

I walked out to our garden this morning and found our first produce of the year–3 cucumbers and a banana pepper–much more will be ready this weekend–It’s the best feeling in the world to walk out into your backyard or frontyard and find food–food you worked hard to have–all that labor pays off–I know where that food has been how it was grown and tended to–What a wonderful feeling–Our garden is doing very well, so much better than I had expected–I thank the Lord daily for his provision here–we have had good rains at good intervals and our soil is better than we originally thought–the garden was slow taking off, but when it did–WOW!–We have loads of tomatoes on each plant, the squash is producing wonderfully–the egg plant has lots of blooms and one little egg plant–the okra is doing good and so are the gr.beans and cabbage–Peppers are also doing amazing–Its going be a great year for our garden and we are ever so grateful!
